John Locke, English philosopher
John Locke (1632-1704), English philosopher. Lockes early years lecturing at Oxford University were followed by fifteen years in France, where he met most of Europes leading scientists and thinkers. On his return, Lockes Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690) suggested that the mind at birth is a tabula rasa (blank slate) on which knowledge is imprinted by experience. Locke also argued that the proper basis of knowledge is experiment. He also published Two Treaties on Civil Government (1690). Lithograph from volume 4 (1877) of the 9-volume The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne (1875-1880)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of John Locke, a prominent English philosopher whose ideas shaped the course of history. In this portrait, we see Locke's head and shoulders depicted in monochrome, emphasizing his intellectual prowess and profound impact on society. Born in 1632, Locke spent his early years lecturing at Oxford University before embarking on a transformative journey to France. During his fifteen-year stay in France, he had the privilege of meeting Europe's leading scientists and thinkers, broadening his horizons and refining his philosophical theories. Locke's groundbreaking work titled "Essay Concerning Human Understanding" published in 1690 proposed an intriguing concept - that the mind is born as a blank slate or tabula rasa upon which knowledge is imprinted through experience. This revolutionary idea challenged traditional beliefs about innate knowledge and emphasized the importance of empirical evidence. In addition to his influential treatise on human understanding, Locke also authored "Two Treatises on Civil Government" (1690), advocating for individual rights and limited government power. His political theories laid the foundation for modern democratic governance systems around the world. This lithograph from volume 4 (1877) of "The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne" serves as a testament to Locke's enduring legacy as a philosopher and theorist. Through Todd-White Art Photography's lens, we are transported back to an era where great minds like John Locke reshaped our understanding of human nature, politics, and philosophy itself.
